Tater Tots and Bratwurst Cooking Instructions

1. Simmer your brats in beer for about 15 minutes, using equal parts beer and water and slicing and adding onions. Set brats to the side and add 2 tbsp of olive oil to a skillet and turn on low to medium heat. Add brats to the skillet and cook until browned, which should take about 5 minutes. Dice your brats up into 1/2 inch pieces.

2. Pre-heat your oven to 425F.

3. Open the can of sauerkraut and rinse and drain. Lightly grease your casserole dish and add the sauerkraut to the bottom, spreading it out evenly.

4. Layer your bratwurst evenly on top of the sauerkraut.

5. Mix the condensed cheddar soup with the milk, then pour on top of the brats.

6. Add your tater tots to the top as the final layer and sprinkle on one cup of shredded cheddar cheese (leaving one cup of cheese remaining).

7. Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes. Add the last cup of cheeseÂ when the tater tots have browned up and are crispyÂ and cook for another five minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt.
